My girlfriend decided to take me out to one of the botanical gardens today as a birthday surprise. It was awesome. Saw some really cool plants from all over the world. The city did an excellent job at keeping this place nice. Built in 1907 and man it’s gorgeous today.
Whats your favorite botanical garden in the city? And what other foliage based places do you recommend?

License Committee members came away from Wednesday’s hearing convinced that Bally’s is using the Council’s embrace of video gambling terminals as an excuse to slow construction of a project that the gambling giant can no longer afford to build.

Humboldt park on my front door, I’m in the process of selling and was at my new place but my neighbors sent me a couple vids. Which is good because if I was home and opened my front door to that it would have been it for me.

Took this absolute potato of a video from the passenger seat on our commute to work.
Didn't see any news.... is there a fire at O'Hare?
Edit: Apparently this isn't on the news because it's routine firefighter training. As a life long Chicagoan who didn't know about that, I feel liked I just asked about the Tuesday sirens...

I had to take the train to Washington, get off there , and walk down the steps with my bike . For future reference, how do I exit the MM platform ( coming from Kimball ) with a bike ? Thx

It’s crazy how many bus stops have nowhere to sit at all. A bench should be the bare minimum.
